3. Lyndee F.
“I highly recommend Lyndee F as a dog sitter! She has watched my dogs, Lucy and Maggie, several times, including one week-long stay, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care she’s provided. Whether at my home or hers, she’s always gone above and beyond. She’s taken them on walks, played with them, and given them all the love and attention they deserve. My dogs absolutely adore her, and I feel completely confident in her ability to care for them. Lyndee is trustworthy, kind, and attentive, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dogs in her care again.”

13. Josephine F.
About: I cared for my own dog for 14 years, providing her with love, daily exercise, and consistent care through all stages of her life until she passed from old age. This experience taught me how to understand dogs’ needs, build trust, and provide compassionate, reliable care. I’m dedicated to treating every pet I care for with the same love and attention. As a full-time online college student, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs. Majority of my time is spent doing homework so any free time I have I wouldn’t mind spending with your pet! If your pet stays in my home, they’ll have the entire space to themselves as the only animal here. I also have a secure, fenced backyard, perfect for safe outdoor time, and I’ll be home with them the entire time. If you prefer in-home care, I’m more than happy to watch them at your house to maintain their routine and comfort level.
14. Laurie M.
“Laurie is an excellent person with whom to entrust your dog. She has a confident yet easy disposition that is comforting. She consistently communicated all I wanted to know regarding her time with my dog. Highly recommend!”
15. Emily K.
“Emily is the best pet sitter that we have ever had! Our dogs and cat love when she comes to take care of them. She is very reliable, provides us with updates and even pictures sometimes. I have referred her to several friends and family members and they love her too.”
16. Taylor D.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was born. I began helping my parents care for our pets when I was a toddler. As a teenager, I showed my dogs in the 4-H show. I grew up with Boxers and I currently have a Pit Bull mix. I also know dog CPR. I am available almost every Wednesday and the weekend unless I'm on call for work. I may also be available in the late evening some weekdays. Feel free to ask me about my schedule and I will see if I am available to care for your fur babies on the day and time you need me 🙂 Have a young or hyper dog? I’m up for long runs, as I run with my dogs and have taken them for long walks up to 5 miles. I’m also up for a short slow walk for the smaller or older dogs.
17. Brendan S.
“Brendan is amazing with my dog. She can be timid and they became best friends after their first walk. I would highly recommend Brendan!”
18. Micah M.
“Loves dogs, will be great with your fur baby!! Takes excellent care of them. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for great service and loving care.”
19. Emily W.
“Emily took great care of my dog Neko! He is a husky so sometimes he is a lot to deal with. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
20. Gina M.
“As usual, Gina was wonderful! She always goes above and beyond with her care, communication and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
